charging power of the solar panel. Verify that solar panel leads are connected to the battery correctly; panel is facing a
southwest direction and is not located in a completely shaded area. Inspect panel surface and wires for damage.
Test solar panel for correct voltage and current output, disconnect panel wires from battery and using a DC voltmeter
measure the dc voltage (should measure about 22 volts) and the dc current (should read about 250 ma) in the peak sun
period. If either, of these readings is incorrect panel maybe defective.
If none of the above check bad then remove battery and have it load tested at a battery shop. Replace if bad.
AC charged, ensure that you have a deep cycle battery rated at a minimum of 33 amp-hour installed. If accessories are
connected (keypads, loop detectors, any device powered by the battery) verify that the current draw needed to power
them does not exceed the charging power of the charger. Verify that charger leads are connected to the battery
correctly; charger is connected to an approved 110 VAC receptacle. Inspect charger and wires for corrosion or
damage.
NOTE: The USAutomatic multi stage charger does not output any voltage when disconnected from the battery, you cannot
check charger by disconnecting from battery and measuring voltage output. To check charger output disconnect from
battery, measure battery voltage and note. Reconnect charger and monitor battery voltage it should rise above the
battery voltage noted above.
STEP 2 The charger has lED indicators (lights) on the faceplate, observe the leds that are on or not and refer to the
troubleshooting directions furnished with the charger for definitions of different led indicators.
STEP 3 If none of the above check bad then remove battery and have it load tested at a battery shop. Replace if bad.
5. My gate will not automatically close:
NOTE: If DS1 switch 1 is on and switch 2 is off then the gate should automatically close from any position, but if switch 2 is
also on the gate will only automatically close if the “open limit” LED (both “open limit” LED’s for dual gate) is on.
STEP 1 Locate the “Open/Close Command “ push button; press the button to verify that the gate will close. If gate closes
correctly then proceed to the steps below.
STEP 2 Verify that DS1 switch 1 is on. If not turn it on and recheck gate operation. If gate remains open continue with step 3.
STEP 3 If your installation is a single gate, then only DS1 switch 3 or 4 can be on. If both are on the gate will not
automatically close. Turn off the one that is not being used and recheck gate operation.
STEP 4 Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While pushing the button inspect the LED indicators
located just below the X1, X2 (master, slave) actuator plugs, note which LED’s are on. Read note below.
NOTE: The two LED’s located below the X1, X2 actuator plug when on represent the closure of the limit switch. If the left
LED is on then the gate should be in the open position, if the LED on the right is on then the gate should be in the
closed position. If DS1 switch 9 (operating direction reverse) is on then this is reversed. If the LED for the open
position is not on when the gate is fully opened then the auto close will not work if DS1 switch 2 is on. The limit
switches need to be adjusted or DS1 switch 2 needs to be turned off. If gate still remains open go to step 5.
STEP 5 Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While pushing the button inspect the LED indicators
located on the control board (lower left corner) and note which ones are on. If any LED’s are on disconnect the green
J2 connector from the control board. Press the “Open/Close Command “ push button to close the gate, and then press
the button again to open the gate fully and verify the automatic close is working.
STEP 6 If gate automatically closes correctly then the accessory connected to the J2 connector that is activated (LED is on)
needs to be repaired.
6. Gate begins to open or close but stops and reverses after a couple of seconds.
STEP 1 Remove gate operator cover and locate the Patriot control board. Locate the sensitivity adjustment (see page 12)
potentiometer located on the control board. The white center is adjustable and needs to be turned in a clockwise
direction.
STEP 2 Normally a setting of 5 will operate most gates; if your gate requires a setting above 6 there is a good chance that your
gate has a problem, which needs to be corrected. Possible causes are incorrect alignment, something is interfering with
the gate, guide rollers are binding, gate not level or the gate chain is too tight. Identify and correct problem.
STEP 3 Other causes could be a safety device connected that is activated. Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and press and
hold operate the gate and note any LED’s that come on. If LED comes on identify the accessory connected to that input
and correct the accessory problem.
STEP 4 Contact the factory for further information.
